Beyond the DSGE Straitjacket

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2011

Academic macroeconomics and the research department of central banks have come to be dominated by Dynamic, Stochastic, General Equilibrium (DSGE) models based on micro-foundations of optimising representative agents with rational expectations. We argue that the dominance of this particular sort...

An Exponential Class of Dynamic Binary Choice Panel Data Models with Fixed Effects

Al-Sadoon, Majid - 2012

This paper develops a model for dynamic binary choice panel data that allows for unobserved heterogeneity to be arbitrarily correlated with covariates. The model is of the exponential type. We derive moment conditions that enable us to eliminate the unobserved heterogeneity term and at the same...

Second-Best Income Taxation with Endogenous Human Capital and Borrowing Constraints

Jacobs, Bas - 2013

We formulate a two-period life-cycle model of saving, labor supply, and human capital investments when individuals differ in ability and initial wealth. Borrowing constraints prevent individuals to optimally smooth consumption over the life-cycle and to optimally invest in human capital. We show...

Optimal Linear Commodity Taxation Under Optimal Non-Linear Income Taxation

Jacobs, Bas - 2013

This paper analyzes optimal linear commodity taxes joint with non-linear income taxes. We provide optimal tax rules based on empirically observable elasticities. We demonstrate that commodities should be taxed/subsidized if doing so boosts labor supply. The critical role of commodity taxation is...
